Airbnb Luxe: A First Look
What is Airbnb Luxe?
It’s been 11 years since Brian and Joe inflated three airbeds in the living room of their San Francisco apartment to create their now ubiquitous company Airbnb. Today, the hospitality service has expanded to spare rooms, entire homes, Airbnb Plus ( homes verified for their style, comfort and charm), and even boutique hotels.
Now, a new addition has joined the club. Airbnb Luxe caters to individuals with a yearning for luxury travel. The company calls Airbnb Luxe, “a new luxury experience that makes personal and bespoke travel more accessible to everyone.”
With homes that serve as destinations in themselves, travelers can choose from 2,000 homes around the globe, including castles in France, historic villas in Tuscany, and even an entire island in French Polynesia, Nukutepipi, curated by Guy Laliberte, founder of Cirque du Soleil and Lune Rouge.
Each home is evaluated by its special attributes, including the services it comes with, like chefs, drivers, butler services and more. Every home comes with 24/7 access to a “trip designer” who looks after the traveler’s needs throughout their stay. From booking and check-in to local bespoke experiences and activities, as well as personal training sessions in a private gym, guests are given the five-star treatment.
